Stuck with my "business"

[InnovaDesign]

A month ago, I had the not-so-brilliant idea of selling sneakers (replicas) on Facebook Marketplace.

I had no idea, but I knew Facebook has good traffic. Without thinking twice, I bought a dozen pairs of sneakers, but from there it was all problems.
Facebook somehow detected them as fakes, replicas, etc., although the price and the titles implied they were replicas. (Clearly, I wasn't selling them as originals.)

But with luck, I got 10 clicks on my posts during the week, and I was sure they wouldn't delete them. I tried to advertise, but my ad manager was suspended, and in the end, they closed my access to the marketplace completely.

Now I don't know what to do to sell them. I don't have anyone who wants sneakers, they're men's. If I'm lucky, I'll sell 1 or 2 pairs to friends, but from there on, what do I do?

Donate them to a homeless and start another business that is legit without using facebook marketplace? Its a big old world of web out there. Don't worry about money you waste, worry about time. Hanging on to a bunch of useless replicas, when you shouldn't be letting yourself get conned into buying and marketing such a bad product. There are thousands of legit products, from western companies that do well including affialties. You don't have to jump on the "Made in China" replica bandwagon.

yes, well thanks but impossible, I had that money $400 for 12 pairs for this business, sorry but my idea is not to lose the 400, at least to recover or lose as little as possible.

Try reselling on less strict platforms locally like OfferUp or in-person through sneakerhead communities.

Join Facebook groups that buys and sells shoes. Youre only not allowed to post on the marketplace right?
